    Thank you RareMaps.com for supporting another video! This video would have not been possible with them.

    Doesn’t matter where the border falls now in the 21st century. We Mexicans are ingrained in the fabric of the SW United States and beyond. Very proud to be Mexican as well as American. Thanks for the video.

    New video uploaded from my favorite geography youtuber just when I was reading a book about the history of the border between Mexico and the US, talking about these exact topics. A welcomed coincidence.

    What a great video.
    Americans were ignorant, ignorant, ignorant about the map
    of Texas and the western territories.
    The discovery of gold in California occurred with Anza long
    before Marshall was born. Everything after that was propaganda.
    The South was meeting to build a railroad to California, but
    was sidetracked by the North's commencement of the Civil War.
    An American officer named Emory laid out the boundary line
    with Mexico. It took blood, sweat, and tears to walk that thing
    across. And he deserves the credit for the work.
    Thanks for your work.

    It is not stealing from you, if you don’t legitimately own it. Ownership of land comes from exploration, occupation and use of the land. The Indians of those parts of North America were the legitimate owners - not Mexico.

      Don’t look to much into the title. It’s a play on words from a popular UA-cam video How the US Stole Mexico. Just showing people this video adds to that story.

    Glad I found your site.With all the errors on the early maps,too bad they didn't have someone like David Thompson, fur traders for the Hudson's Bay Company.His maps were incredibly accurate.Thomas Jefferson showed one to Meriweather Lewis,before his journey to the mouth of the Columbia River.

      The Mexican culture might be affected so that's a bad idea, it's better to have 2 Mexicos, one that isn't prosperous but preserving it's culture, and another one more prosperous but lacking more Mexicancy.

    The new nation of Mexico had little use for it. They viewed it as 1500 miles away by horseback, populated by hostiles, mostly wasteland, with only a few thousand Spaniards in Santa Fe and Californios - and they wanted to be left alone anyhow.

      Little use? A literal war was fought. 100,000 mexicans called it home. Them wanting more autonomy and having it had been the status quo since independence. It wasn't too different from states rights in the US and people identifying with their state

      Spaniards in Santa Fe? 😂😂😂😂😂 those people were mostly mestizos of the local Indians and Europeans or even hispanized indians, few Spaniards went there a wasteland for them, most choose to go to either Lima or Mexico city
